For Orbital's expert Event Communications team it's been a busy 6 months, handling demanding events and solving communications challenges are our forte and we are frequently called upon by returning customers who value our expertise and experience in this demanding field.

One of the tools that we are using more and more is ClearCom's FreeSpeak II� mainly because once our clients have used it they ask for it for every subsequent job. Working in the license-free frequency bands, including 1.9GHz, this high performance wireless intercom system is designed for extensive communication in large-scale operations. Its ability to maintain a strong and continuous wireless connection across an expansive coverage area while providing crystal-clear digital audio makes FreeSpeak II the ideal wireless roaming solution for live event, broadcast, sport production and industrial applications.

We've deployed FreeSpeak II� on events ranging from an Imagination event in Seville to Kylie Minogue & the Prince of Wales on stage together in London. Each event demands full duplex communication with numerous 'talk groups' and the possibility of integrating with on-site systems as well � Freespeak II handles all of this with ease and means the client can have confidence in the communications system which of course is the cornerstone of any successful event.

Having been involved with ClearCom sales for many years now we are one of very few companies in this sector that has genuine hands-on product experts � all fully capable of offering combined technical, practical and consultancy expertise on a brand-by-brand, or individual product basis. This dedicated knowledge base is something that we believe is essential with the degree of complexity involved in modern audio equipment. Our approach is based on much more than supplying units: it's all about providing the know-how to help you select the right kit in the first place, as well as the installation aspects, matched by ongoing support and comprehensive maintenance. Our product experts actually use this stuff themselves, in the real world, every day of the year. It's not just "sales talk" � it's from the heart.
